Yangambi

More than 2 million people live in the Yangambi landscape, which covers an area of about 1.5 million hectares in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Tshopo Province. It is characterized by a wide range of land uses and tenures, including a biosphere reserve, off-reserve forests, logging concessions, and customary arable land.

Yangambi is generating invaluable lessons for a global audience interested on how sustainably managed landscapes can serve as a driver for local development. Research, restoration and climate-smart agriculture activities are putting this landscape at the core of forestry innovation.
